Concerto No. 2 In G Major & Concerto No. 3 In E-flat Major Arranged For Two Pianos (Dover Music For Piano)

This new edition of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3 unites both works for the first time in a single score. In addition to a difficult-to-find version of Tchaikovsky's original Piano Concerto No. 2 in G major, this edition features Alexander Siloti's suggested revisions. Although Siloti had the composer's permission to edit the work, he significantly shortened the second movement despite Tchaikovsky's objections, and published the concerto with his own revisions after the composer's untimely death. Piano Concerto No. 2 is usually performed with Siloti's cuts; this edition offers performers both versions.Originally intended as a symphony, the Piano Concerto No. 3 in E-flat major was published as a one-movement work. The piece contains a massive piano cadenza of striking virtuosity, surpassing even that of the Piano Concerto No. 1 in both brilliance and difficulty. Pianists will appreciate this comprehensive and modestly priced two-piano edition of two major romantic virtuoso works.

This piano score has very good printing quality, and it comes in excellent edition - and, of course, you will enjoy this amazing music - overall it's perfect buying choice!

Ive been waiting years for this to be available. It uses the original Tchaikovsky score as published in the Russian complete edition, but has the added bonus of including Siloti's suggested improvements. There is no better edition because if you buy the Peters edition it is missing half of the slow movement- avoid at all costs. Also this has the 3rd Concerto as an added treat. Did I mention this is about half the price of the Peters edition?
